Apple held its “Spring Loaded” event, during which the company presented new products, including the next-generation iPad Pro. The biggest improvements to the new iPad model have happened inside the device.
At the heart of the tablet is a new M1 processor – the same chip that runs the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini. Apple claims that the new iPad Pro brings a big jump in performance compared to the previous generation. Graphics performance is over 1,500 times faster, according to the company. Also, it is pointed out that one can expect an all-day battery operation.
